Thanks Neal! I like how the Purple fountain grass looks, and the elephant bush looks good too. It's funny, when I saw that you commented I was confused because I have an identical twin named Neal, same spelling, and I thought it might be him.

Thanks G-stars! I've been growing some Opuntia on the side of the house out of the yard so that the kids can't get into it. Its a great plant to have and you can easily cut off the new pads and feed them to the tortoise.

Hey Folks, I am remodeling our backyard and I am looking for some good plants to plant for our Tortoise. I would like some that look good, but the real goal is to get plants that the Leo can enjoy. These will be planted amidst landscape rocks and we will have dripper lines to water them. From...

Thanks for all of the welcomes. I am in the process now of making a more permanent enclosure for our little guy. It is on top of an office desk. I am waterproofing the inside so that the wood does not warp because or the moisture. Also his humid hide will be made from pink foam insulation that...

This morning was the first time this little guy got to eat some petunias. I tossed in some hibiscus leaves and a wilted hibiscus flower but when I left for work he hadn't touched anything but the petunias. When I was talking to my mom she said that she has to plant he petunias away form her DT...

Nice to hear from some other AZ folk. Ya I hope to do as much business as I need with him. I'm just waiting for my seed to arrive now so that I can plant the new Tortoise table that I have built.

Hey there, I just received this little guy on Christmas and things seem to be going great. I have more information in the introductions threads but I live in Arizona and grew up with my parents tortoise that they have had for about 25 years, but the hatchling part I am new to. Since I only...

Sorry if I am over-posting but maybe these pictures will work/look better. I used my phone to edit them.

Hey, I just posted pictures but it looks like they were reformatted weird. Any good ways to attach photos from the Iphone?

Hey everyone, I now have some pictures of the little guy. Since I only received him on Christmas day he is staying top side for the winter on a tortoise table using a Exo Terra Solar-Glo 125W. He has constant access to a water dish and has been eating mostly dandelion greens. I have offered...

Geez, Sorry about the terrible spelling there in my earlier post. Yvonne, your assumption would be correct. I'll try and get some pictures to post soon.

Hello there! I am glad to have joined the Tortoise Forum. I am a resident of Glendale AZ, and I currently care for an August 2013 Gopherus hatchling. My family has a history with these tortoises and now I have the opportunity to care for one as well. Growing up my parents received a Gopherus...
